My fellow alumni and myself from the 1960’s are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ms. Barrineau. She was a wonderful person, as well as coach and PE teacher. Her door was always open for a bit of wisdom for her students. She was at Cross Keys for many years and one of the original faculty members.

My condolences and deepest sympathy for her loved ones. Miss Barineau often partnered with my assigned gym teacher, Mrs. Palmer, to teach us special skills like tumbling, gymnastics, basketball, tennis, and golf. I knew her and was taught by her on those special occasions in my 8th grade PE class during the 1968/69 school year. She was a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher and coach. May her memory always be a blessing to those who new and loved her.

I’m sure you will hear from many of her students. She was a true original, and a great teacher. The number of lives she touched and influenced is beyond count. All the CK kids will know what I mean when I say I see Mrs. Palmer meeting her at the Pearly Gates.

So sorry for this great loss. Joyce and my husband, Sam, taught and coached together many years at Cross Keys. I first met her in
1953, while we were freshman at GSCW (Georgia College). . My deepest sympathy to her family and many close friends.

This lady was a great mentor during my teen years at Cross Keys High. She dedicated herself to her students, as well as her assistant Coach Palmer. It didn’t matter the circumstances that you were going through, they both were there to help you through it! Fond and great memories will carry on for Coach Barineau. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

We loved her very much! I played Varsity basketball at Cross Keys as a freshman. She was always positive and inspired us to be the best we could be! She was an awesome lady. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

She was a great Basketball Coach & friend. She always gave me great advice, but I was not talented enough for basketball
& being a cheerleader, so she encouraged me to choose the thing I enjoyed most. After a lot of thought & consideration I gave up basketball. But I missed our daily interaction greatly.
